I only wish values voters would realize what has been done in their name by the likes of Ralph Reed, Jack Abramoff, Delay and others (including enablers like Rove & Mehlman) to thousands of teenage girls in the Northern Marianas. For profit, the GOP agressively fought to maintain a system whereby young girls were recruited, borrowing large sums from their families & communities for the promise of work in the USA, only to find themselves trapped in island sweatshops making never enough to repay their debt. Often the girls, some as young as 14, were pressured to work in sex shops and forced into prostitution. Forced abortions were also the norm. If you don't believe me, begin your search with these sites and conduct your own investigation.

I just can't believe this scandalous situation has been simmering for a decade without mainstream notice. Evangelical GOP supporters desparately need to do a gut-check and redecide whether they are backing good or evil. It’s about time some evangelicals are seeing things as they really are.

Religion can only lead to self destruction based on misinterpretations of now ancient scripts. I feel comfortable in my philosophy, but not in my survival. Please, read the message of your own script and understand it. I do. I keep feeling more comfortable being an atheist.
